VALERIE AND HER WEEK OF WONDERS (Film)
Fascinating Czech surrealism from the seventies. Beautifully filmed, affectionately macabre and totally unique, it’s precisely the type of film They Just Don’t Make Anymore.
BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA
A quest for the eponymous head becomes a deranged trip into blood-soaked psychosis in this, the late Sam Peckinpah’s most personal and outrageous film
BOXING HELENA
Some people claim this notorious 1993 bomb is a misunderstood masterpiece. Don’t believe ‘em!
THE BOXER’S OMEN
Quite simply: you’ll have a difficult time finding such a mind-roasting mélange of rapid-fire insanity anywhere in or outside Hong Kong
BLUE VELVET
BLUE VELVET is one of most iconic “cult” movies of all time, and there’s an excellent reason for that.
BLUE SUNSHINE
A nifty chunk of seventies-sploitation about drug users going nuts years after the fact. Just say no, indeed!
THE BLIND OWL (Film)
A signature film by the ever-eccentric Raul Ruiz, who was here adapting Sadegh Hedayat’s Iranian classic THE BLIND OWL
THE BLIND BEAST (Film)
A wildly fetishistic, claustrophobic Japanese production made in 1968, THE BLIND BEAST (a.k.a. MOJU) is profoundly bizarre
BLACK MOON
A dark, freaky headscratcher from a filmmaker beloved by art snobs the world over: the French Louis Malle, best known for refined fare like ATLANTIC CITY and MY DINNER WITH ANDRE
BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW
Another movie that over-relies on atmosphere at the expense of a strong and original narrative. But then again, the otherworldly aura created by writer-director Panos Cosmatos and his collaborators is so extraordinary I won’t complain too much!
